Cassette
Before storing it, rewind the tape to the beginning.
if the Cassette is left for more than 6 months with
the tape stopped midway, the tape sags (although
it depends on the storage condition). Be sure to
rewind to the beginning.
Store the Cassette in its case. Dust, direct suntight
{ultraviolet rays), or humidity may damage the
tape. Dust contains hard mineral particles, and
dusty Cassettes damage the heads of the Movie
Camera and other components. Develop a habit of
returning the Cassette back to its case.
®Once every half year, wind the tape to the end and
then rewind it to the beginning. If the Cassette is
left for 1 year or tonger without winding or
rewinding, temperature and humidity changes may
cause the Cassette to deform due to swelling,
shrinking, and so forth. The wound tape may stick
to itself.
Do not place a Cassette near highly magnetic
substances or equipment.
©The surface of tape is covered with extremely
minute magnetic particles, upon which signals are
recorded. Magnetic necklaces, toys, etc., have
magnetic force that is stronger than you may
normally expect, and they may erase the contents
of a recording or may cause noise in images and
sounds.
BHELCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens
LCD Monitor
tn a place with drastic temperature changes,
condensation may form on the LCD Monitor. Wipe
it with soft dry cloth.
© lf your Movie Camera is extremely cold when you
turn its power on, the image on the LCD Monitor is
slightly darker than usual at first. However, as the
internal temperature increases, it goes back to the
normal brightness.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to
produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of
approximately 110,000 pixels. The result is more
than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of
the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not
a malfunction and does not affect the recorded
picture.

Viewfinder
Do not direct the Viewfinder or Lens to the sun.
Internal components may be seriously damaged.
When the Movie Camera is used with a large
capacity Battery (CGP-D28S/CGP-D320,
CGA-D54S; optional) attached to it, itis not
practical to look in the Viewfinder from behind the
Battery. In this case, lift up the Viewfinder to an
easy-to-see angle.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to
produce the Viewfinder screen featuring a total of
approximately 63,200 pixels, The result is more than
99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the
pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a
malfunction and does not affect the recorded
picture.
Lens
lf you push the (W/T] Lever toward (W] during
recording with the optional filter or conversion lens
attached to the Movie Camera, 4 corners of the
image may become dark (vignetting). For details,
please refer to the operating instructions of your
accessories.
